Description:

(Ages 6 - 11) Spring means big changes to the forest as we move from the cold, dark winter and into the brighter days of Spring. Campers will see first hand how warmer weather and longer days impact plants and animals by investigating a range of natural science topics based on what we find in the park. Camper will practice their skills as naturalists to identify how plants and animals begin their journey of regrowth and renewal, and have a great time getting back outside themselves. Campers will have hands-on interactions with our collection of pelts, skulls, and natural artifacts, and become familiar with organisms that call our forests home. Come explore with us and see how the forest transitions for this exciting season. Become a scientist with Nature Vision this Spring and see the natural world in a whole new light!

Prerequisites: Nature Vision camps at Farrel-McWhirter Park (FM) have a low to moderate physical demand. Much of the terrain is relatively flat. There are some rougher trails within the park, as well as the ability to move into the neighboring Juel Park for groups that are prepared for more strenuous and/or technical exploration. The main camp area has easy access to potable water and accessible bathrooms. This site best serves campers who are able to stay with their group on and off trail; cones and signs act as physical reminders of boundaries in the wide-open grassy fields. FM also hosts a working farm, and campers must be able to follow instructions regarding interactions with horses for the well-being of people and animals.
